Do you always completely miss the point?

What you posted in this reply makes everything else that you believe a lie.

And soil doesn’t always compact sufficiently to stand. Only high ‘R’ value soils do that. Highly plastic soils flow rather than compacting to such an extent. If the Earth was old, those plastic soils would all be at the bottom of the ocean, instead of standing on tall, steep slopes as they do in so many places.

Limestone and mudstone formed on the Indian and Eurasian plate margins now are found in the peaks of the Himalayas as a result of the collision between the two plates. Plate tectonics solves many problems posed by structural geology. The only requirement for soils to become rock is pressure and heat. Any soil that is buried deeply enough will become rock. Most of the biological material will leach out or, in rare instances, fossilize.

It’s a little bit arrogant to attempt to read my mind. Nothing I’ve said is in conflict.
